Are You Suffering From Financial Stress?
business
Despite the strengthening economy and positive outlook, some people are still experiencing high levels of financial stress. Many are worried about meeting monthly expenses, with 30 percent reporting in a recent survey of over 1,000 people that concern over their financial situation keeps them up at night.
A 2014 report by the American Psychological Association showed money has been the most common source of stress for Americans since 2007, followed by work, the economy, family responsibilities and health concerns.
Financial stress is pervasive in that it can impact so many areas of your life, from sleep habits to interactions with friends and family to reduced productivity at work. Research has found a correlation between economic insecurity and increased complaints of physical pain, leading to additional health care spending and further financial woes.
It’s one thing to be stressed out because you can’t find a job, but there are plenty of working Americans who are stressed out because of their occupation. According to CareerCast, some of the more stressful positions include public relations agent, event coordinator, broadcaster, newspaper reporter and taxi driver.
Millennials, who represent about 25 percent of the U.S. population, report feeling the most financially related stress. Small wonder, considering so many are either unemployed after college or work part-time, low-paying jobs that sometimes don’t require higher education
Fortunately, now that jobs are on the rise, employers are having to compete for quality workers. For recent college graduates, one of the most appealing benefits is a program that helps them pay down student loans.
